An Award and a Photo Contest

Yippee! We won an award! Our blogging friend Diamond and his human, Lynettea, have generously bestowed us with the “Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award.” Thank you, Diamond and Lynettea. We’re honored!

The rules of the award say we have to share 15 things about ourselves, so here are five about Moosey, five about Sammy, and a collage of five cats looking for their forever homes:

Five things about Moosey:

1. He loves water, and is obsessive about going into the shower after the humans are done

2. He has to smell everything – including his brother Sammy :)

3. We adopted him from PAWS, who rescued him from a kill shelter

4. Favorite toys: Catnip mice, string, bouncy foam balls. And FLIES!

5. He loves spending time with the mom and dad on the sofa and sleeping in the bed

Five things about Sammy:

1. Favorite toys: Hex bug and mouse on a bouncy string

2. He loves being brushed (he even tries to brush himself)

3. He adores lounging in his cat hammock

4. He enjoys watching bird and squirrel TV

5. He was found in a feral cat colony, saved from a kill shelter by PAWS, and ultimately adopted by us :)

Petunia, Clara, Rupert, Victoria and Elmer are just FIVE of the many PAWS cats currently available for adoption...

We're supposed to pass the award along to 15 of our friends, but since we love ALL of our blogging pals, we can't even begin to choose.  So we're giving it to everyone who wants it! :)

Now, about that PHOTO CONTEST we mentioned.  PAWS is holding a Cat Photo Contest in conjunction with its "Bark in the Park" event (yes, PAWS rescues woofies, too!).  There are four categories: Silly Kitties, Best Belly Shot, Cati-tude and Cutest Cat. Fees are $5 for the first entry, and $3 for each additional entry. One winner will be selected in each category, and prizes include pet supply and restaurant gift certificates.  The contest is open to anyone (you need not be present to win, and prizes can be shipped).  Deadline to enter is Friday August 26th. For full details click here.

Happy World Cat Day

Hi, everybody!  Sammy and Moosey here, wishing you all a Happy World Cat Day!  Our Mom and Dad think EVERY day is the purrfect day to celebrate, honor, and remember the two of us, the cats at PAWS, all of our feline friends, and kitties everywhere.

But we love that the Cat Blogosphere has an official day for it, too.  Have a great one! :)

Easy Like Sunday Sisters

Sisters Loreen and Krystal are taking it easy while they wait for a forever home.

Loreen

Krystal

These beautiful girls are about 7 years old, and must be adopted together. They would do best in a home without young children or other animals.  Krystal and Loreen are spayed, current on all their vaccinations, and have tested negative for FIV and FeLV.

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Diamond

This is our new friend Diamond.  Isn't she adorable? :)

Easy Like Sunday - Carter

Hi, I'm Carter!  I'm pretty new at the shelter.  I'm a sweet and gentle boy, and as you can see from these pictures, I really know how to take it easy.  Have a great Sunday, everyone. :)

Tessa on Tuesday

When beautiful Tessa came to us a stray, she was pretty fearful of the sights and sounds that came with being at the shelter.  We could tell she was nervous about the other cats in Room One, and unsure about the humans trying to befriend her.  While she's still not exactly fond of her roommates, we're happy to say she now counts Tracey, me and the other volunteers among her friends.  Here she is recently, enjoying some time on Tracey's lap. :)

Tessa is spayed, up to date on all her shots, and has tested negative for FIV and FeLV.  If you've got a quiet home and a nice, warm lap, Tessa may be just the girl for you.

FURever Home Friday - Roger and Friends :)

Exciting news, everybody!  The adoption counselors at PAWS have been mighty busy, which means a whole bunch of cats have found their forever homes since our last adoption update!

Do you remember our buddy Roger?

He's been adopted!

How about sweet Libra? 

She was adopted, too!

Also joining the adoption parade were: Amelia; Amos; Creole; Eleanor; Emmanuel; Esmee and Dundee (together); Hadley; Iris; Lola; Louisiana; Marco, Indy, Bindi, Summer and Cordelia (yes, someone adopted FIVE kitties together!); Mary and Brett (together); Marty and Jake (together); Mew Bear; Opal; Pedro; Q; Quincy and Jada (together); Rolf; Sam III and Diane (together); Tippy; and Widget.

As always, we'll miss our shelter cat buddies who've been adopted.  But any sadness is eclipsed by the joy of knowing they've found their very own forever families. :)

Be well, kitty friends.  We love you!
